Transitioning to ESSENTIALS
Switching to ESSENTIALS often represents a positive lifestyle change for your dog. We recommend a gradual transition over 4–7 days. During the first 2–3 weeks, it is important to find the ideal portion size – we suggest starting with a serving 10% smaller than your previous brand. Proper dosage is key: overfeeding may result in soft stools.
Storage and Quality
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place (5–18 °C), in a closed container, and away from direct sunlight. This ensures that the very last portion tastes as fresh and delicious as the first.
Feeding Guide: Every dog is unique. Adjust the daily portion based on your pet’s breed, activity level, environment, and age to maintain an ideal weight.
